【Sermon】Warfare Series 2: Victory Opens the Mysteries of God!

2021-02-06 23,908 Warfare Series Fear Church Calamity Priest Revelation Overcoming

Introduction

Good day to everyone! Many say that what I share is quite nutritious, and today's sermon is also very nutritious, so listen carefully! Let me begin with a disclaimer: since I am presenting new research and explorations, it is possible that some things may not be entirely accurate. Please take it as a reference, and diligently examine the 《圣经》(Holy Bible) to see if what I say aligns with it.

Last Sunday, we discussed 《攻克己身、叫身服我》(Conquering the self and making the body obey). But how many people truly conquer themselves and make their bodies obey? Not many! In fact, throughout the ages, there haven't been many who truly conquer themselves and make their bodies obey. If a person can truly conquer themselves, that is called victory!

Victory is a very important term. Why? Because whether you are victorious or not determines the trajectory of your entire life! Victory leads to one outcome, while defeat leads to another. Therefore, the word victory has held a very important place in my life over the past few decades.

Recently, we have been working on the third lesson of the 102 course, which focuses on the idea that a victorious church is key. If you build a church that is not victorious, then the life you live will not be victorious either, and you will end up living a mediocre life, which would be a tragedy. So, I believe that the 102 course's emphasis on the victorious church being key is addressing a theoretical or intellectual understanding of this matter.

Victory is a very important thing. I earnestly hope that all our brothers and sisters can become victorious people, people who conquer themselves and make their bodies obey. May every brother and sister in the church be like Jesus, and like the Apostle Paul, saying: I will conquer myself and make my body obey!

Why do we say that victory is so important today? Because it is truly crucial. Whether you pass or fail your university entrance exam, whether you are victorious or defeated, the difference is enormous, isn't it! Some people never achieve victory in their work, and what happens? They never get a raise! I think if we carefully reflect on human history, the difference between victory and defeat is immense! The victor becomes king, the defeated becomes a thief!

For example, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty was a prince. Zhu Di raised an army to attack the then-Emperor Jianwen, who was the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, while Zhu Di was Zhu Yuanzhang's son – an uncle attacking his grand-nephew. What was the result? One fierce battle after another! If Zhu Di had failed, he would have been a thief, a usurper.

But if he won? He became the emperor. That is the victor becomes king, the defeated becomes a thief! There is a very famous person in my old Liu family named Liu Bang. If Liu Bang had not defeated Xiang Yu, he would have been a thief! But he defeated Xiang Yu and became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, establishing a famous dynasty in history!

Another example is the Korean War. Victory led to one outcome, while defeat would have led to another. In other words, what is the trajectory of our lives related to? It is related to victory and defeat. It is the same for Christians! Fortunately, the Korean War was won. If it had been lost, the American army would have marched straight in and occupied China, and Chiang Kai-shek would have launched a war from Taiwan and the south, while the United States launched a war from the north, and eventually, the new China might have been completely defeated. But fortunately, we won!

I am Chinese, and I feel that it was good that we won the Korean War! Back then, our great leader Chairman Mao and his Standing Committee made a difficult decision. Because of the victory in the Korean War, China gained over forty or fifty years of peace and stability. The enemy no longer dared to attack us because the Americans were defeated. The Sino-Indian War and the Sino-Vietnamese War, these are all events that happened in the recent decades of world history. Victory and defeat bring about two completely different outcomes.

What I want to say is that a disaster can bring a person's life to an end. Our brothers and sisters must understand that a sudden disaster can determine the course of a person's life. The same is true of the victory or defeat in this battle, it will determine the course of a person's life. So I give you this word, you must imprint it in your mind: Victory, victory, victory, victory!

If you don't win, you'll think, Oh well, that's just how it is, what else can I do? That's called a loser's life. In World War II, the Allies were victorious, and Japan and Germany were defeated. Conversely, if Japan and Germany had won, history would have to be rewritten, wouldn't it? This is called the victor becomes king, the defeated becomes a thief! Whether you like it or not, victory and defeat lead to two completely different outcomes.

Today, we are fighting against the most powerful being in the world, the devil Satan. Victory leads to one outcome, while defeat leads to another. Today, whether it's Christians or the church, when fighting against the devil Satan, there are countless casualties and defeats. You say that God has not predestined us to be victorious? Then you must have that faith, right? You must trust in God, right? Don't be captured.

Why do I say that victory can unlock the mysteries of God? Today, we are fighting against the most powerful being in the world, the devil Satan, and victory and defeat lead to completely different outcomes. But in my bones, it's all about victory, victory, and more victory! Therefore, as we have come to this day, no one and nothing can stop me from claiming God's promises. No one can stop me, they can't!

Many people say this, including some of the people closest to me, they say: If he (referring to me) wants to do something, he will definitely get it done. Don't you think I have the guts? This courage brings a victorious outcome. Whether you win or lose, it all depends on a single thought in our hearts. Our God has long predestined us to be victorious, and victory is our choice. We must clearly understand in our minds that we must strive for victory and claim God's promises.

In the 《圣经》(Holy Bible), there is a Church of Philadelphia. It is good to be a Church of Philadelphia, but whether you can do it depends entirely on your destiny. There is a very famous church that also hopes to be victorious, but their pastor started a multi-level marketing scheme. The cell group leader of this church wanted to learn how to be victorious, so they worked hard to find us. I was also very willing to help them, but I don't know where they went later. It is good to have this kind of ambition, but whether you can be victorious really depends on conquering yourself and making your body obey.

It is difficult for a person with too many attachments to be victorious. If you are attached to your wife, children, and other family members, or perhaps attached to other things, it is difficult to be victorious! The devil presses this button, and you are finished, your legs go weak. He presses that button, and your legs go weak again.

I have a thrifty, down-to-earth style and a sound financial management approach. I will never let a noose be put around my neck. If I can't afford something, I won't buy it. If I have to borrow money, I won't borrow it. I don't want to be trapped. The devil basically has no tricks for people like me. Life and death are no longer on my mind. My personal lifestyle is absolutely not extravagant. My colleagues can testify to this. When I go out to eat with everyone, we buy our own food. I usually buy the cheapest things, and the cheapest things can still fill me up.

A member from Singapore came to us with a strange illness, always having a stomachache in the middle of the night. He asked his cell group leader to pray for him, and his cell group leader introduced him to health products, which were multi-level marketing products that his cell group leader was an agent for. I said that cell group leader is quite interesting. In fact, this all comes from the root. As the pastor is, so is the district leader; as the district leader is, so are the cell group leaders and members. There will be no multi-level marketing in our church because the devil of multi-level marketing cannot do anything here.

Those people came to the church, and God gave them a lot of mercy and also gave them the ability to heal and deliver. Why would he engage in multi-level marketing products? Because he was financially strained. After a person is trapped by something, they will pay for it. I also know a person who was cheated out of several million dollars at once. He bought a property for the church, but when the pandemic came, he was stuck tightly. Where could he get the money? He had to get it from the members, he had to recruit people into the church. How could this be in accordance with God's will?

Today, if you want to build a victorious church, you must know that it starts with making victorious disciples. I know that there are countless casualties on the road of believing in the Lord, so in my heart, I must conquer myself and make my body obey. Although my flesh is dying and constantly releasing many things that corrupt me, I must begin to know that I must follow the example of the Apostle Paul and be victorious. I do not box as one beating the air; I do not run like one running aimlessly. I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Victory is good, victory unlocks the mysteries of God. Chinese Mingding Destiny is a victorious theological system. Chinese Mingding Destiny does not talk much about salvation, but in fact, salvation is victory, and victory is salvation. Whether it is from Genesis, Revelation, Hebrews, or other Bible study content, you will not find anything on the market that is very consistent with what I preach. This is because after God made me victorious, God gave me an open revelation, which is in accordance with the 《圣经》(Holy Bible).

Today, I encourage everyone to be victorious, to be fully aware of the truth of God in your minds. The history of humanity and the history of the church began with victory. How much you win determines how much you unlock. If you know God on a very low level, you can only unlock so much. You have to climb up, which is why God encourages us to seek Him. God sits on His throne and looks down to see if there are any who seek Him. We must understand in our hearts, understand God's will, and take one step towards victory to unlock one step of God's mystery, and take one step towards victory to know God one step further in our minds.

Since ancient times, there have been few people who know God. Once, I was driving an old horse, and it told me that throughout the ages, it has fought against the church and never lost a battle. The entire system of the old horse is the system of Esau, which is why God hates Esau so much and curses Esau in this way. Esau's descendants are the Amalekites and the Agagites.

Scripture

Then I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it. Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed! He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Revelation 5:2-5)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, today we stand before You, resolve to set our hearts, and claim Your promises. You promise us victory. We will rely on Your word and on our faith in You to claim Your promises and become a victorious people. We will lay down our sins, strive to run this heavenly road, and constantly know You in our minds, diligently imitate You, be priests to You before You, and exercise royal authority on earth. Lord, lead us constantly before You, let us constantly know You, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Introduction to Revelation and the Meaning of the Scripture

Everyone should know that our 《圣经》(Holy Bible) is not written in a strange language. It is written in a language that you and I can understand, which is something that shocked me a lot. Before I believed in the Lord, I thought that the 《圣经》(Holy Bible) must have been written with a lot of things that everyone could not understand, but after I read it, I found that this was not the case.

For example, 《圣经》(Holy Bible)'s words, whether in foreign languages or Chinese, Hebrews can read Hebrew, Greeks can read Greek, Chinese can read Chinese, and English speakers can read English. The 《圣经》(Holy Bible) has been translated into more than 700 languages. Whether it is erroneous or correct, this is not important. The important thing is that it can be read. But if the 《圣经》(Holy Bible) was full of a lot of unreadable words, all in tongues, then we would not be able to read it.

However, the 《圣经》(Holy Bible) is indeed in black and white, speaking clearly. Why is this? I will tell you that the original meaning of this 《圣经》(Holy Bible) is to let us know God in our minds. Therefore, it is written in the fifth chapter of Revelation, “I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.”

I was pondering the meaning of this sentence. An idea appeared inside me: Inner words are hidden, and the words outside are obvious. Whether hidden or obvious, the key is that they are sealed with seven seals, and those who are not victorious cannot see them because they are not worthy to see them. When studying the 《圣经》(Holy Bible), everyone needs to have a global perspective or you will not be able to study it at all because it is an encrypted scroll. Even if you read the words on the outside, you still need a global perspective.

If you look at Revelation a little more carefully, you will see that at the beginning, the seven lampstands are the seven churches, and the seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches. Jesus Christ rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, and then became a very glorious image, entering the age of building the church. The second and third chapters are written to the messengers of the seven churches, repeatedly saying: To the one who is victorious..., constantly repeating that one must be victorious.

The second and third chapters talk about the victorious church, and in the fourth and fifth chapters, it can be seen that God is worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. All things were created by God's will, and the victorious church is God's most wonderful creation.

The fifth chapter is about the Lamb opening the seven seals. If everyone reads it carefully, you will discover that Jesus Christ was killed and then used His own blood to redeem people from every tribe, language, people, and nation, to bring them to God, to become the church, to become a nation, and then they became priests and exercised royal authority on earth. This is why Jesus Christ is worthy to open the seven seals.

Human history moves forward. In the sixth, seventh, and eighth chapters, the seven seals are opened. Each time a seal is opened, history moves forward, all representing the victorious church and Jesus Christ together opening these seven seals. This is the global perspective.

When the seventh trumpet sounds, you will find that the fifth chapter keeps talking about the prayers of all the saints rising to God. This event promotes the advancement of human history. In the eighth verse of the fifth chapter, the incense is the prayers of all the saints. Also, in the fourth verse of the eighth chapter, the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of all God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Do you understand? This is very interesting. The progress of human history is closely related to the victorious church and disciples.

The latter half of the eighth chapter is like World War III; the ninth and tenth chapters speak of the situation of the war being quite cruel. Then there are two preachers who preach, which fills the earth with disasters. You may wonder, don't preachers call for peace in this world? No. The prayers of all the saints come before God, and then disasters constantly appear on the earth. People are throwing the blame around and don't have time. I take the pot myself. The plague is after the seal is opened, the fourth horse, the gray horse, which is to kill a fourth of the earth with sword, famine, plague, and wild beasts.

That's what I am saying. As a result, in the eleventh chapter of Revelation, when the seventh seal is opened, there are seven trumpets. The seventh seal includes the seven trumpets, when the seventh trumpet sounds, the church is raptured. This is roughly the situation. After the twelfth and thirteenth chapters, the beast makes war on the saints and conquers them. Those who remain on earth cannot overcome the beast.

The thirteenth chapter also mentions 666. If you are still on earth at this time, you probably only have one choice, which is to be martyred or you will be finished and will not be able to live. If you are victorious earlier, you will be raptured when the eleventh chapter is reached. If you are not victorious, you will be martyred. Therefore, I am telling you that the message of victory is very important. After the twelfth and thirteenth chapters, I don't want to have anything to do with it because in the eleventh chapter, I am raptured and meet the Lord, and the earth begins to experience great disasters. Therefore, whether you win or lose, the outcome is very critical.

The meaning of this passage is that: victory unlocks the mysteries of God. Don't think that everything will be peaceful on earth once the mysteries are unlocked. There will not be peace on earth. There will be more and more disasters. Originally, I planned to talk about: In the age of this raging plague. In this age of raging plagues, we must be victorious people. Why is there a raging plague? Because Jesus opened the scroll and broke the seal. The rampant plague is not for you and me, it is given to this world.

The Victorious Church Opens History Together with the Victorious Lamb

Revelation 5:10 speaks of making them a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth, ruling on Earth means you have a say on Earth. Our God is the God of human history. We are victorious in the spiritual realm and wield royal authority on Earth. We are not victorious in the spiritual realm and cannot wield royal authority on Earth. It is Satan who wields royal authority on Earth. The place where our feet tread is the kingdom of God, and Satan is not here, and we are in God's own kingdom.

The victorious church is the body of Jesus Christ, advancing history together with the victorious Lamb. Revelation 2:1 and Revelation 3:22 are all talking about the victorious church. The fifth chapter speaks of opening the seven seals, which is Jesus Christ using his own blood to buy people from every tribe, language, people, and nation. Make them priests serving our God, to reign on the earth.

Speaking of this, I will continue with what I said last Sunday about Peter and Paul. Peter, with 120 disciples, constantly prayed for the Holy Spirit to descend and opened a period of history, which was the history of the early creation of the church. The Acts of the Apostles was written by Paul's colleague Luke. When Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles, he revealed some interesting things. Peter was originally called to be the apostle to the Gentiles. Peter was the first to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. But later, Peter became the apostle to the Jews, and Paul became the apostle to the Gentiles. Why? Because Peter, while doing it, lost his authority. In the fifteenth chapter of Acts, Peter ceded his authority to James, the physical brother of Jesus Christ.

Later, God raised up the Apostle Paul again to preach the gospel to the Gentiles and opened up the history of that generation, because Paul conquered himself and made his body obey. Paul wanted to please God and not please people. No matter who you are, whether famous or not, you have not increased me anything. Paul is great, with that energy in his bones, which is what God wants.

Paul opened the history of that generation, and history moved forward. When old John wrote Revelation, history moved forward again. I want to tell you that God did not stop speaking after John wrote Revelation. We must remove the rigid theological concepts because when old John wrote Revelation, what he said had not yet come to pass. What he wrote was all the visions he saw.

How do we unlock this? It is through the people who rise up and overcome throughout the ages. This is why Revelation chapters 2 and 3 talk about how the overcomers will be. So today, we are determined to be an overcoming church and make overcoming disciples. We will shoulder God's mission in this generation and unlock God's mysteries. This is the origin of Mingding Destiny.

God's intention is to build an overcoming church, and through the perfect union of the overcoming church and the Lamb, we can unlock one seal after another. Today, the fourth seal has already been opened, with the red horse, white horse, black horse, and pale horse. The fifth seal has also been opened. We are probably now in Revelation chapter 7, where God will seal His servants on their foreheads, so that earthly things can no longer harm them. The day of opening the seventh seal is drawing near, very, very near. I want to say that when the sixth seal was opened, the number of those sealed was 144,000. We used to think this number was too small! Brothers and sisters, don't be mistaken, it really is this number, because in my ministry, I have found that there are very, very few overcoming Christians!

But if you are among us, I hope you are one who overcomes. That's why I'm sharing this message with you, because overcoming can unlock God's mysteries. What exactly is overcoming? How exactly can we overcome? That is the purpose of my message today. The previous part only talked about some theories. What is hard to accept when the sixth seal is opened is that there are so few who overcome. But it really is that few. Only 144,000. Why are there so few who overcome? To overcome, you must pour out your heart before God. Some people don't overcome because they don't understand the truth of God in their understanding. They say the right things, but they don't understand in their hearts. If they don't understand, they can't unlock this seal. The sealed truth cannot enter into us.

Everyone must understand that the overcoming church unlocks this seal together with the overcoming Lamb. Because Jesus Christ is the head of the church, and the church is the body of Jesus Christ. If you read chapter 5 carefully, when you read verse 10, you will know: He is worthy to open the seven seals because He has purchased so many people. We are all within the scope of His redemption, so today is a day worth celebrating, because we can reign with Jesus on earth. We must establish this concept and be determined to be an overcomer.

How did Peter lose his authority? It was actually because he did not overcome in a certain area. The Bible clearly writes that Peter feared those who came from James, and when he feared, he acted hypocritically. I wonder what he was afraid of. This is a very unconquered state. Brothers and sisters, if you have this kind of hypocrisy, this kind of hypocrisy that Jesus dislikes, or if you still have fear inside, fear of death, fear that your children will not have money, fear of this and that, fear that no one will take care of you in the future, fear of not having a place to settle down, etc., these things cannot make people overcome. These things are the concerns of people in this world!

We become overcoming disciples, build an overcoming church, we have God, what are we afraid of? So we must be determined to be disciples of Jesus Christ and together with Jesus Christ unlock the mysteries of God.

Unlocking the Mysteries of God is to Know the Truth of God in Understanding

Think about those of us who work with computers. Once something is locked, it can't be unlocked, and it can't be read. It's all garbled. Once you take the key and unlock it, it can be restored and opened for viewing! That is to say, the truth of Christ Jesus is a sealed truth, and only those who overcome can unlock it and receive revelation. That is to say, whether you overcome or not is closely related to your knowledge of God's truth. In my experience over the years, I have found that whether you overcome or not is revealed thoroughly in your words. One thing that shocked me very much is that many people seem to be overcoming on the surface, but in the depths of their minds and thoughts, they actually are not.

A few days ago, a sister was discharged from the hospital. She had contracted COVID-19. COVID-19 is an old horse. How did that old horse get this sister into the hospital? It's because she did not overcome inside. Actually, I'm not just talking about her, I'm the same way. If one day the old horse gets me into the hospital, I'll also tell you that it's because I didn't overcome. But it doesn't matter if you don't overcome. Stand up where you fall. This sister said she was discharged from the hospital, so I encouraged her to explore with her pastor. Explore what? Explore how she got to this point. She was just reading novels at home all day long, and she read herself into getting COVID-19. She regretted it. COVID-19 was so hard, she really suffered a lot.

A few days ago in the hospital, the doctor gave her hormones, and she said that the doctor's medicine was really good, our foreign hospitals are really good. What's so good about hormones? During SARS, they were all given hormones. After the hormones were given, they had to keep giving hormones to control the situation. Later, the bones became loose and the hip bones were shattered. It was so miserable, and many people had sequelae from SARS. It was a living hell. Yes, you took hormones, but if you take hormones, will the old horse let you go?

So today, we must overcome no matter what, and we must know the truth of God in our understanding. Having so much faith in the hospital's medicine, can that be considered overcoming? What does it mean to overcome? There is no breakthrough in understanding at all. So today I tell you that having clarity in understanding is a state of overcoming. Some people also really want to know God in their understanding, wanting to understand as soon as they read. But that's not how it works. You have to pay a lot of price! Lazy people like to say: Tell me what to do! Tell me! But if I tell you, will you be able to understand thoroughly? No matter how much I say, you won't be able to understand.

Even if someone comes back from the dead to tell you this, would you really believe it? It's useless. Jesus already told you, it's useless if you don't believe it. If you really want me to tell you what to do, I'll tell you to pay a price, and then start learning to know God in your understanding. Start to know what it means to overcome, start to know what God's word is really saying, and then start to know how to put God's word into practice, how to strive to pursue.

Do you think that those lazy people, those who live casually, can know God casually? No way! Actually, the extent to which you know God is closely related to the extent to which you overcome. Your knowledge of the truth in your understanding determines your height. You will find that when two people argue, one person points to a dung beetle's dung ball and says, This is a dung ball; while the other person says, This is a treasure!

If that person is a dung beetle, can he not think that a dung ball is a treasure? Many of the things we say today are difficult to understand, and that includes myself. Sometimes I'm confused, and sometimes I understand. That's all normal. But in the process of striving to pursue, it would be troublesome to think that the dung ball is a dung ball one moment, and then think that the dung ball is a treasure the next moment. If some people always think that the dung ball is a treasure, then don't blame the old horse for messing with you!

When I was leading prayer, one sister said that her head was a mess. How could she have any understanding of things? As soon as I heard that, I knew that she had the spirit of a dung beetle on her. The dung beetle is a kind of worm from hell. I said, Does it hurt when you grab your chest? The dung beetle spirit is in your chest, so it would be strange if it didn't hurt. After grabbing for a while, she started to vomit a lot of dirty things. After vomiting a lot, it didn't hurt when she touched her chest again, because the dung beetle spirit ran away!

Why did this sister encounter the dung beetle spirit? Because she treated a dung ball as a treasure. Earning money and supporting a family in this world are all rolling dung balls. Some people still think I'm talking nonsense, but that's because your and my perspectives on things are at different heights. It's useless for me to argue with you. People are really pitiable! Why? It's because people are full of myths about living! People live in myths, and no matter how busy you are in this world, how much you roll dung balls, what you end up with is a grave. You live and live and then you die.

Then you say, who doesn't live and live and then die? But those who overcome can go to Jesus, and those who don't overcome are caught by the old horse and taken to hell. The argument between two people is just about the different views on things. How can you overcome if you don't have breakthrough in understanding? People are full of myths about living, how can they have breakthrough in understanding? They are ignorant all their lives, but they don't know that they are ignorant. They are ignorant of things all their lives, and they live in myths all their lives.

One sister's grandmother is ninety years old. Because she is an old cadre, she enjoys very good treatment. Her family members rely on her to buy medicine, and sometimes they even say: Why don't you buy medicine for me? It's as if she should buy medicine for everyone. Recently, she suddenly realized one thing: Why am I doing this? Why should I buy medicine for you? This old sister kept reflecting and began to understand some things.

Many people are full of myths about living. There is a pastor. I have met him. He used to do healing and deliverance and experienced God's power. Later, he married a wife and had children. He told me about his children's future and was very worried. He also said that the church had gone out of business and the money was tied up! How can those who worry about these things be good soldiers of Jesus Christ? How can those who are not good soldiers of Jesus Christ overcome? Those who do not overcome will be plundered and bullied by the old horse. Isn't earning money within the old horse's system? People rely on money because people are full of myths about living. What happens as a result? The church went out of business, and the business also lost money, because he took the money of the members and was sued in court by the members.

There is also a pastor who said when preaching the gospel: We should pursue driving BMWs and living in luxury homes, that is God's glory. Oh my god! That's the old horse! As a result, he was trapped by money and started doing pyramid schemes. Those are all myths. Why am I so frugal and my way of life so simple? If the old horse wants to trap me, I'll beat it up. It's good enough if I don't trap the horse. Today, brothers and sisters must recognize the old horse! What I'm saying is that breakthrough in understanding is intertwined with overcoming. The seals opened by Jesus Christ, in Revelation chapter 6, include the red horse, white horse, black horse, and pale horse.

Must Recognize the Old Horse

The old horse is the logical system of the flesh and this life. You must recognize the old horse. In the Bible, Esau, his father gave him a blessing, and he had to live by his sword. Fighting and killing is the old horse. Living in the old horse's system is cursed by God. If you overcome, you can recognize these four horses. If you overcome these horses, they cannot harm you. This is the logic. Do you understand? So, everyone must recognize the old horse! I deal with the old horse a lot! Anyone who is bullied by the old horse will be fine after coming to me for a while. The old horse is too familiar with me. As soon as it sees me, it says: It's too bad to meet this person! When I meet it, I have another chance to catch the horse.

Overcoming lies in recognizing the old horse. The first horse is a white horse, and one sitting on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. This is very confusing. Many people interpret it as the continuous expansion of Christianity, but it's not! It's just that the old horse is riding on the horse, holding a bow, and living by the sword! Conquering and to conquer, because it's really powerful. From ancient times to the present, not many have overcome this horse. The old horse told me this: I have never been defeated, how come I'm defeated when I meet you? It's still wondering! It's because I don't live in the old horse's logical system. Esau's logical system is the old horse's logical system. The crown represents the pride of this life. What people pursue is the pride of this life. How can you overcome if you have the logical system of the old horse?

The second horse is a red horse, and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him. Everyone must know that the earth is the horse, and the sea is the dragon. In Journey to the West, there is a white dragon horse. This red horse is powerful! A great sword was given to him, so that people would kill each other. It's just that one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither. It's all the old horse, relying on swords to live, fighting for power and profit in the world, fighting wars, so many wars! The earth is full of strongman logic. Isn't Esau living by the sword this? How to overcome? What we rely on is not the sword, but the Lord God, and the spiritual authority that God has given us. What are these people fighting for? They are fighting for land, resources, and all the things of this life are the old horse. It's hard to kill each other.

The third horse is a black horse, and one sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine. This is doing business, doing business. There are too many people who are trapped in doing business. Business is his life. If the white horse is the pride of this life, the red horse is the struggle for earthly resources, and the black horse is doing business.

The fourth horse is a pale horse, and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, plague and by the wild beasts of the earth. People's lives are just experiencing the white horse, red horse, black horse, and pale horse, until destruction.

Think about it, this is Esau's logical system. Today, we must recognize the logical system of human life in our understanding! Are we living in the logical system of the old horse! If you want to overcome, you must overcome the white horse, red horse, black horse, and pale horse. They are not harming us, we are the group of people who open this seal and then release these horses. After the horses are released, there is a very strange phenomenon: The old horse especially likes to corrupt those who belong to it. If people live in the old horse's logical system, they will be corrupted by the old horse. Why? Because these horses and those who ride on them are doing these things, this is the old horse.

How much can everyone overcome the logical system of the flesh and this life? If you can overcome it, you are an overcoming disciple. If you carefully consider the teachings of Jesus Christ, Jesus taught us: Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” This is the key. Why leave? If you don't leave, what you hold on to is the old horse, and you are still in the old horse's logical system.

The Lamb Was Slain and Is Worthy to Open God's Mysteries

A person who is slain and willing to give his life to God has seen through life and death. A person who sees through life and death can no longer be threatened with life and death. A person's life is threatened, or the lives of family members are threatened, your reaction determines your logical system. Some people are surprised why I don't care about many things, why should I care about this? I don't even care if I die, would I care if you die? Life and death are a logical system.

If you don't have enough understanding of life and death in your understanding, if you can't see through it, you can't overcome. The old horse cares most about life and death, and all those who are bound by the old horse care most about life and death. Many people, Christians, and pastors, fall on this. You can tell from what they say that it is all Esau's logical system.

Chinese Mingding Destiny has analyzed Esau's logical system very clearly. We don't care about money, life and death, or carnal relationships. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. This is the teaching of Jesus. If we care about the life and death of our family members, how can we overcome? The Lamb is the slain Lamb, and He is worthy to open God's mysteries. Christians see through life and death, and life and death are no longer within our scope of consideration, then these things of the world, these powers of hell, these spiritual forces of darkness in the air, can no longer harm us! They can't hurt us!

Conclusion: Be an Overcoming Disciple and Unlock the Mysteries That God Wants to Open in This Generation

Chinese Mingding Destiny is just the beginning, maybe God has more mysteries waiting for us to know and unlock. Knowing God is endless. Don't think that God has finished speaking, God is still constantly doing the work of revelation. In the generation of old John, God revealed the overcoming church. In our generation, God revealed again that the overcoming church is the key. The overcoming church is composed of overcoming disciples, and the overcoming disciples must first overcome the old horse, overcome the spiritual forces of darkness in the air, and overcome Satan.

As we continue to ascend the holy mountain of the Lord and strive to pursue knowing the truth of God, the scroll has been opened, and those who overcome and those who do not overcome will be separated. Those who overcome will inherit God's promises, and those who do not overcome will inherit the disasters of the world. If you ask me where the biblical basis is, it is in Revelation chapter 13, verse 7: “And it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. This it is the beast, the saints cannot overcome it. What happens if you don't overcome? Anyway, it will be very miserable and hard. What happens if you overcome? It was taken up in chapter 11.

Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15)

The result of overcoming is that we are no longer harmed, because we have already recognized all things related to living in the world. We have seen through life and death, we have seen through the things of the world, and we have also understood the mysteries of eternity. So we no longer care about the momentary and light affliction in the world, in order to gain what Jesus Christ wants us to gain, pursue the crown of glory in eternity, build an overcoming church on earth, fight against the devil and the enemy, pave the way for the second coming of Jesus Christ, and joyfully welcome the coming of the day of victory!

Today, brothers and sisters, we must know, what else do those who have God lack? Those who trust in God lack no good thing. Brothers and sisters, if you often see yourself being very unlucky, not being blessed financially, and not being blessed in many areas of your life, and you are busy and running around all day long for the sake of living. I give you a good suggestion: Continue to recognize the essence of living, and continue to understand what God's word says.

Because we do not live by bread, not by food, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Strive to pursue the knowledge of God's truth, and strive to put the knowledge of God's truth into practice, and then you will know that we humans overcome in the world and reign on earth. Everyone in the world knows that the victor is king and the loser is a thief, so when we fight against the devil Satan, we have no choice, only one choice, and that is to overcome, because God has predestined us to overcome!

May God bless everyone, may everyone become overcoming disciples!
